The Competition For The Front Line Is Starting To Be Heavy, Hojlund Must Revoke

Rasmus Hojlund is getting closer from Manchester United (Instagram/@rasmus.hoejlund).

JAKARTA - There is no name Rasmus Hojlund on Manchester United's list of players when they host Arsenal in the first week of the 2025/2026 Premier League at Old Trafford, Sunday, August 17, 2025.

Ruben Amorim's decision not to include Hojlund in the squad against Arsenal adds to the speculation that he might be leaving Old Trafford before the transfer market closes on September 1, 2025.

One of the potential goals for Hojlund, who joined Manchester United in the summer of 2023, is AC Milan.

AC Milan Sports Director, Igli Tare, told Sportmediaset on Sunday, August 17, 2025 that the Danish player was a good choice in front of his team.

"Hojlund is a good choice for us. We are considering it, but on the transfer market, we never know what could happen," said Igli Tare.

Amoritism prefers new Benjamin Sesko in his line-up - which was introduced before the game and made off the bench against the Gunners at Old Trafford.

Amoritam menegaskan bahwa pemilihan Sesko dibanding Hojlund adalah murni persaingan.

"This is a race for a place. We'll see what happens in the transfer market. There are different characteristics."

"Rasmus has the same characteristics as Benjamin Sesko, so we have to choose," said Amorim after the match.

Another thing that further strengthens that Hojlund had to leave Old Trafford was an Amorious statement that said Manchester United had found the right composition.

Despite losing 0-1 to Arsenal, the Portuguese coach revealed that his passukan had performed better for a long time against the Gunners.

Patrick Dorgu's shot hit the post in the first half, while Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo's new player's shot was parried by David Raya.

"That feeling came because we played better. We were indeed a better team, but in the end we lost."

"I am very proud of their hard work on the pitch and it is important to move forward. Today we proved that we can win any match in the Premier League, especially against a great team like Arsenal. We are indeed a better team," said the Portuguese coach.
